    text
  • soluble form
  • selectively and stably expressed on the cell surface of T helper 2 (TH2) but not TH1 cells
  • basic FUNCTION
  • putatively involved in cell growth
  • may be induced by proinflammatory stimuli, and may be involved in the function of helper T cells
  • soluble IL1RL1 suppressed the signal transduction of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and cytokine production in monocytic cells
  • soluble IL1RL1 protein was internalized into dendritic cells, suggesting that soluble IL1RL1 protein acts by a noncanonical mechanism other than the sequestration of IL33
  • IL33/IL1RL1 signaling plays an important role in regulating IL33 induced inflammatory responses in ocular surface
  • involved in the initiation and perpetuation of inflammation
  • cell-intrinsic role for the IL33/IL1RL1 axis in the regulation of apoptosis in mast cellls, identifying thereby a previously unappreciated pathway supporting expansion of the mast cellls population with inflammation
  • IL33/IL1RL1 axis plays an essential role in the development of visceral adipose tissue Treg (VAT-Treg) cells
  • IL33 and IL1RL1 function as a developmental switch to license thermogenesis during the perinatal period

    signaling signal transduction
  • IL33/IL1RL1 pathway is critically involved in mammary tumor growth by facilitating expression of pro-angiogenic VEGFA in tumor cells and attenuating tumor necrosis
  • IL33/IL1RL1 signaling may be involved in periapical inflammation and tissue fibrosis
  • a component
    INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • binding to ILR1LG
  • GATA2 and GATA1 positively and negatively control human IL1RL1 gene transcription, respectively
  • TMED1 associates with IL1RL1 (interaction mediated by the GOLD domain of TMED1 and the TIR domain of IL1RL1)
  • IL33 signals through its ligand-binding primary receptor IL1RL1 and IL1 receptor accessory protein (IL1RAP)
